Sensory Processing Challenges
The tag in his shirt ends the morning. The hand dryer in the bathroom ends the trip. You have started planning the week around which places are too loud.
Learn MoreWhat We Treat
Something’s harder for your kid than it should be. Start here.
These are the five challenges Baldwin families bring us most, written the way a parent describes them at 11pm, not the way a chart does. Read the one that sounds like your week.
Everything We Treat
Five challenges. One approach.
You didn’t need a checklist to tell you something was different, and the parents who get here fastest are the ones who stopped waiting for someone else to confirm it. Every one of these starts the same way: a comprehensive initial evaluation, one-on-one with a licensed occupational and physical therapist, that goes after the cause instead of managing the symptom.
Difficulty with Self-Regulation
She goes from fine to the floor in four seconds, and it is always something small. Afterwards she can’t tell you what happened either.
Learn MoreFine Motor Delays
He is six and still hands you the buttons. Snack wrappers, zippers, shoe laces, the fork, all of it comes back to you.
Learn MoreGross Motor Delays
She hangs back at the bottom of the slide while everybody else goes up. In the car she tells you she just didn’t feel like playing.
Learn MoreHandwriting & Visual-Motor Difficulties
Homework takes two hours and half of it is erasing. The letters float above the line, the words run together, and his hand aches by the third sentence.
Learn MoreCan’t put a name on it? You don’t have to.
Most parents get here with a feeling, not a diagnosis, and that is enough to start. Take the 30-second sensory check to put words to what you have been noticing, or talk to a specialist and we will do it with you. The only expensive option is another year of waiting to be sure, because skills build on skills and your kid is already working harder than everyone around them to keep up.
